Our Verdict

Corsair K63 Wireless

Corsair K65 LUX RGB

The Corsair K65 LUX RGB and the Corsair K63 Wireless are similar TKL gaming keyboards. The K65 LUX feels much better built, it has RGB lighting, and it has a USB passthrough. However, the K63 is more versatile thanks to its wireless capabilities, and its Cherry MX Red switches have a slightly lower pre-travel distance than the Cherry MX Red switches on the K65 LUX.
